Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment by Jason Schreier. I think it was a solid book for what it was, with serious effort to interview as many people as possible to assemble a comprehensive picture, but ultimately I’m probably not the target audience. I played World of Warcraft from the tail end of Vanilla to the end of Wrath of the Lich King, but otherwise I never really got into any Blizzard games and even though I liked playing WoW with friends, I was never a superfan or a hardcore raider or anything like that. I enjoyed Keza MacDonald’s Super Nintendo: The Game-Changing Company That Unlocked the Power of Play a lot more, which was focused on the games and the creative philosophies behind them rather than corporate intrigue and work culture.
Tomorrow, I’m gonna take a hard right turn and start reading How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza by Adam Johnson of
fame (shoutout to @Hexamerous@hexbear.net for bringing it to my attention). Look forward to feeling uncontrollable rage and then hopefully channeling that rage into getting libs to rethink their unconditional love for The Gray Lady.(also, I actually have a few of my responses to this kind of survey salvaged from my MySpace page ca. 2006…pure unadulterated cringe)
edit: actually, on the topic of talking to libs, can anyone recommend a good resource for learning to teach more gently and/or Socratically? I have an annoying tendency to ramble on and on, and while it might make me feel better I’m also acutely aware that it’s an incredibly ineffective tactic (and at times even counterproductive).
I’m trying to read E. H. Carr’s work “The Twenty Years’ Crisis: 1919–1939: An Introduction to the Study of International Relations” because I want to work on developing an actual Marxist theory on multipolarity and not one that’s been put into vogue by the fascists.
Last fiction book I remember reading was one of David Weber’s books over a decade ago, but I do read lots of comics and I think they count sorta.
- Favorite candy
My favorite currently are mango lollipops coated in chili powder
Specifically the peach one of these Korean candies. They taste like Yoplait yogurts and I adore it to bits
Oh that does sound good. Peach candy has rarely failed me
That or Asian plums they just hit just right without fail.
In high school there were a couple Mexican exchange students in one of my classes who brought some candy from home to share. One was watermelon lolipops with a pouch of chilli powder for dipping. Amazing, delicious. My being the only one who liked em, and liking them a lot led to me getting invited over for dinner, I dunno how our exchange student program works cause their whole family came over for the year with em and I got to eat genuine Mexican food for the first time (im Canadian) and once again my mind was blown. Turned out they were in a different class with my best pal at the time and a similar thing happened, so a couple of young smelly teenage crusties became frequent dinner guests to a Mexican family living in Canada for a year. I think they really liked that we werent racist.
You ever think about how there is no Pea flavored candy?
No pea flavored candy, you say?
Huh, Wish I could try them. Id really love hard candies though
Ive had candied peas before. Theyre okay
- fave animal
mine is CAT
Dog. Honorable mentions, quokkas and capybaras.
- Last movie Me: Project Hail Mary
I watched most of the Malcom X movie with Mr. Denzel Washington playing him, I thought it was enjoyable.
The book is absolutely amazing if you haven’t read. Not just cause of the subject matter but like…just to read. It is an incredibly entertaining book
Without a doubt, he beyond a shadow of a doubt lead a very interesting life
27 a funny way you’ve gotten hurt recently
Poured boiling water over my feet trying to strain pasta
39 best thing that happened to you this week
Got payed, two weeks late, wasn’t sure that would still happen
I have huge scars on my left foot from pouring boiling pasta water on it. My elbows down have been burned so much in my long career in kitchens that they dont really hurt in those areas. My feet not so much, I forgot how much burns hurt.
Fortunately only got a superficial burn
A cable snapping and launching me straight into the ground and my instincts kicking in roll with the fall left me lying on my back laughing with the best adrenaline I’ve had in a hot minute.
I ate oatmeal rhubarb pie ice cream and a lemon curd with snickerdoodle cookie chunks ice cream while watching children play on picnic tables - one of the greatest table designs known to mankind. The unity of table and bench. Pure in function yet beautiful in its form.
Hell, what were you doing?

Damn, that sucks. Good luck with that, and the literal clouds of mosquitoes covering every millimeter of your body.
Alakazam! Bozo I say to all the mosquitoes. Now it’s nice and warm. Guess I gotta slip outta my robe and wizard hat.
Oh here comes the clouds of mosquitoes from around the bend. RIP your skin
Pictured above are the mosquitoes because ive cast “immune to mosquito” spell
You rn. Just because they can’t doesn’t mean they won’t try

During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.
If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.
Out of everything in my life, what still sticks to me to this day is Kenneth Branagh’s rendition of “To be or Not to be” in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. I haven’t really studied olde English for decades but when I did it was in conjunction to analyzing a lot of stage plays, and the culmination of the moment that I for a brief pause in life understood what was being said in olde English coinciding with watching a lot of Kenneth’s silly movies captured my mind the great beauty of Shakespearean drama akin to the flash of lightning trapped in crystalline amber sap and preserved over the transforming epochs of my life.

- Dreamt about having sex with my mother while on vacation in Lesbos
Okay that’s wild, you couldn’t waterboard that out of me.
That said, If I remember I used to steal capsule medication from my parents medical cabinet and spend hours pulling them apart and sprinkling the internal components onto the ground before urinating on it to melt them.
What? Why would you just not use water?
- Favourite makeup look/routine
Mine is green foundation followed with purple blush
I’m super basic. A simple skin complimentary foundation with the lightest noticeable blush with some work on the eyes to make them pop.
That’s nice
Does this lead to a normalish look or more of a 🧟 situation?
It’s for when I want to dress up as the grinch
29 - place you go when you want to be alone
Mine is the local beach. It’s my absolute favorite place to be. It’s where I want my ashes scattered. I spend my life in a service industry of sorts, constantly doing what others tell me, going where others tell me, dealing directly w customers. It’s nice to leave my phone and keys in the truck and go wander alone. No need to talk to anyone, or have anyone talk to me. It’s outside of cell range so nobody can contact me even in an emergency, work or personal.
Literally anywhere outside of civilization in Alaska. I just pick a direction and just go. I always discover something memorable and it fills me with deep satisfaction because whenever I do an adventure it’s usually when I’m playing hookie from work.
That sounds absolutely lovely.
